Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:: Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide. The landslide started near the top of Buena Vista Peak as a small crack in the earth.

During the landslide 1,500,000 tons of loose rock and dirt tumbled down the hill and onto a 600 foot stretch of Riverside Drive. The disaster caused rerouting of traffic and attracted thousands of spectators. Because the initial crack was identified early, damage and injuries were largely avoided
